raamaudio sound deadening?
#11
I used this stuff on my last car...worked awesome actually. Mad cheap too. VW guys use it a lot apparently (been mentioned quite a few times on VWVortex). Very big difference in sound (I could have a conversation easily at 80mph where I never used to before), trunk stopped rattling, bass sounded 200% better than before.

And you can usually find it at Home Depot so if you run out or want it quick, its easy to get.

Here is something I was considering trying also. Haven't stopped to take a look at it yet, I will be able to tell if it is comparable to dynomat or not.

But if it is, it would be an extremely cheap alternate.

I didnt see anything wrong with it...sure its gonna be a bitch to take off later if you wanted to...Lined the entire carpet, doors, and interior with it...then put the interior back together...long project but it worked very well (at least for me).

I just ordered damplifier pro earlier this week. From what i read if you want good results you use 2x layers of cheap stuff or 1 layer of good stuff. Since i dont want to add alot of weight i went with the top of the line product. Many car audio guys stand by second skin products. $190 for 36sq ft
From what ive read it can take around 40 hours for installation so if im going to spend that kinda time im not gonna cheap out. Also there have been tests that show damplifier pro and dynamat extreme hold up way better then most other brands.

We used Fat Mat in the mustang and used the Rattle trap in the Diesel pick up , you can hear the diesel 675hp extreme turbo wine . Sounds like a jet landing but is very bearable inside. Rattle Trap is about 30# heavier per 100sq ft.

raammat is far superior because it is a butyl layered material with a little bit of asphault on the very inside to help build mass (mass dampens the vibrations). it wont melt or etc because the butyl insulates it and hte butyl is what the adhesive is on.
its been tested to perform in both hot and cold 95% as well as dynamat xtreme and second skin (the two best products on the market period). the tests were based on resistance to extreme high and low temperatures. the budget stuff didnt do very well, obviously
richard, the owner, is also a great guy and an enthusiast. he makes his product because he loves audio and loves cars. this isnt some big corporate setup with suits and manicured palm trees. hes one of us.

But also, it is meant for roofs (rooves?), not for inside cars. I've heard if it gets hot enough to make the tar gooey, it gives off fumes you dont want to be breathing...

I wouldn't use peel & seal or any asphalt based product. It may be cheaper, but depending on the climate, it may or may not give off odors when left in the hot sun.
Also, the asphalt product really needs an asphalt primer applied to any metal before it is applied. When installed new, it will stick and act as a deadener, but over time the sticky stuff will work itself loose so it's only partially adhered. Since the adhesion loss is only partial, and happens at a gradual pace, and likely changes with temperature and the weight of objects placed on it, the loss of benifit is not noticeable. Kind of like how shocks wear. A little at a time so you don't notice until after you change them. Then you realize how bad they were.
I used Raammat and some ensolite in my diesel F350 to cut down on the noise. It's similar to dynomat and bquiet. It's a butyl based product that will need to be rolled in. Just be sure to wear old clothes when doing the install. It's real easy to get messy.

I may try doing this. Sounds like it would be less expensive;
